Palak Tiwari, who became famous for debuting with Hardy Sandhu’s Bijlee Bijlee, is one of the rising stars of the entertainment world. While she is growing in her professional career, her personal life has been filled with some old conflicts. Her parents, Shweta Tiwari and Raja Choudhary, had a turbulent divorce, which was a common topic of discussion in the media for a long time. Although it has been more than a decade since the separation, Raja recently opened up about how Shweta took his daughter, Palak, away from her, who now doesn’t have time for him.
Raja Chaudhary claims Shweta Tiwari took Palak away from him
Raja Chaudhary recently sat down for an interview with Pinkvilla’s Hindi Rush and opened up about his separation from Shweta Tiwari. The actress had earlier shared that she parted ways with Raja due to his alcoholism and domestic violence. But, now, the latter revealed his side of the story. Raja admitted that he used to be an alcoholic. However, he alleged that the actress never gave him an opportunity to hold a conversation to solve things between them. Sharing his perspective, Raja said:
“Instead of creating that opportunity, Shweta brutally decided to take my daughter away from me. This is not right. She did this because she was more influential and powerful.”
Raja Chaudhary revealed that the divorce didn’t just take an emotional toll on him but also took away his financial stability and parental rights. The actor alleged that during their legal battles, Shweta misused her influence to defame him. It created a situation where he even struggled to rent a home, and it was only after the court intervened that he regained possession of a flat bought by his parents. Raja explained that despite fighting for his rights for his parental rights for over a decade, he finally had to give up on it. Recalling the situation, he said:
“She didn’t let me meet my daughter. She divorced me on the condition that I never meet my daughter. After a legal battle of about 8-10 years, I finally gave up. I was like, ‘Beti bhi na mil, tu bhi na mil’. In all this process, a father dies. You can’t meet your child, and fatherhood gets killed.”
Raja Chaudhary opens up about his estranged bond with his daughter, Palak Tiwari
In the same conversation, Raja Chaudhary alleged that his bond with his daughter, Palak, has grown distant, not naturally but due to the circumstances created by his former wife, Shweta Tiwari. Raja claimed that she deliberately kept Palak away from his side of the family, including her grandparents, by not allowing them to meet. Reflecting on his present bond with the actress, Raja revealed that he sometimes chats with her via social media. However, the responses are not active from her side. Sharing the status of his bond with Palak, Raja said:
“I keep writing her letters now and then, sharing my life updates with her. However, she is busy building her career, so she barely makes any time for me. Shweta is illiterate. How would she even know what our kid should study? Now, these things are planned by Google: Baap ki kisko zarurat hai?”
Palak Tiwari’s career so far
Being the daughter of a popular TV actress, Palak Tiwari got several offers from a young age.
